Which way is the dancer turning?

Counter Clock Wise, Clock Wise, or both ways?

Take the quiz here

http://apps.facebook.com/braingame/1q.php

or

http://homeworktips.about.com/library/brainquiz/bl_leftrightbrain_quiz.htm.

I want to see what kind of brains this community has.

Being left or right brained doesn't make you less intelligent as a whole brained person. After all, you didn't see Da-vinci writing the theory of relativity or an orchestra. Lol

I'm really pretty much a right brained person, but I do have a whole brained side according to the game.

Famous right brained people

Shakespeare
Mozart
Pablo Picasso

Famous left brained people

Stephen Hawking
Albert Einstein
Richard Feynman

Famous whole brained people

Leonardo Da Vinci


"Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci (it-Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci.ogg pronunciation (helpĀ·info), April 15, 1452 – May 2, 1519) was an Italian polymath, scientist, mathematician, engineer, inventor, anatomist, painter, sculptor, architect, botanist, musician and writer. Leonardo has often been described as the archetype of the renaissance man, a man whose unquenchable curiosity was equaled only by his powers of invention.[1] He is widely considered to be one of the greatest painters of all time and perhaps the most diversely talented person ever to have lived." - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonardo_da_Vinci

The dancer kept changing directions on me. That was really weird… lol. Both other things were left brained though (the way I write and clasp my hands)

Is the dancer actually changing directions every once in a while?

No it's a static image. Here this will explain it better:

YOU ARE:


WHOLE BRAINED


Whole brained people are special!

You have the wonderful ability to balance the activities of both hemispheres of the brain.

You can be creative, and at the same time think and act logically.



EDIT: I am also an Introvert and have a female brain.

I guess im whole brained, cause I was looking it was turning left then i glanced away and looked back and that girl was turning right, im like wtf.lmao.

I really want to see what Wizzup, BenLand, Tara, and Fawaki score.

I'm going to guess Wizzup is right, BenLand is left (math freak i.e. stephen hawking hahah), Tara is is right, and Fawaki is right.

If I see her going both ways then I'm a whole brained, right?

EDIT: Tbh, this rotating girl is bullshit. Look at the spread out leg. When it goes past the other leg(2 different situations), the height of her moving leg is different too. For one situation it's more up than for the other one. Considering graphical logics higher means more distance from the 0 point, you get two positions for her leg: one closer to you and the other one more further away than the girl. If you know two positions and the direction of the movement(right or left in the picture, not clock or counterclock wise) you know how she's rotating. Considering all this she should be going clockwise :p

I would actually guess all whole brained. Creative but good with math/logic too. Maybe benland might be just left brained, not to say he isn't creative though :p

Left brain. Makes sense considering the only subject I seem to excel greatly in is maths.

MylesMadness

2009-07-10 01:58:15

Left. I hate doing anything creative, just give me tests and school and I will do flawless

Shuttleu

2009-07-10 02:10:33

i managed to make it switch :p

it was going clockwise so i started moving my head in circles anti-clockwise and it started going anti-clockwise
to get it going clockwise again i had to move my head in circles clockwise

JAD to be honest you and I are probably barely whole-brained.

To be a whole brained person you have to be like Professor Hawkings with numbers and be able to paint crazy stuff like the Mona lisa. I.e. Da Vinci is probably one of the few people to of ever lived that is a genius painter and professional math mathematician/ ingenious creative inverter all at the same time.

I think of my self as a right brained person.

90% Right brained
5% Left brained
5% Whole brained.

BenLand is probably like

99% Left lmao.

Then again, how good at drawling/painting/writing/log rhythms/ algorithms stories are you JAD?

Personally I suck at drawing/painting, good at music, good at algorithms, decent at logs.

Music and philosophy is the only thing I'm really good at on my right brain, other than that I love math and coding.

Being left or right brained doesn't make you less intelligent as a whole brained person. After all, you didn't see Da-vinci writing the theory of relativity or an orchestra. Lol

Personally I see it counterclock-wise unless I'm using my brain to make it go the opposite direction. It really is all about perception dude…

I'm going to reguess on this one

Fawki and Tara are wb (or right), Wizzup and BenLand are left.

Lol I'd much rather prefer they just take the test. :rolleyes:

You are a left brain dominant student!


I really wish I had more creativity though, because I like to try to write music :p

This one is the one that I used, and it seems to be a much better quiz than the facebook one: http://homeworktips.about.com/library/brainquiz/bl_leftrightbrain_quiz.htm

Also, I could only see the dancer as going clockwise, I couldn't get it to switch even when focusing on it.

You are a right brain dominant student!

You probably get bored during long lectures and prefer to take classes with a lot of freedom of movement and thought.
You like to write stories and even tell stories about your funny experiences. You might be a little suspicious of other
people's motives sometimes, but that's only because you can usually tell whenever someone is lying or when they're up to
no good. You are a little on the dreamy side--or a lot. You plan books or movie plots but you don't always follow through
on things you think about. You should work on that. You are fun and spontaneous, and probably active in sports or clubs.
Your feelings run deep, and it shows. You have strong instincts, and you solve problems on hunches and feelings. You are
artistic in some way. You can believe in things based on experience, without seeing scientific proof. You might be a finalist
on Survivor some day, since you know how to read people so well, and you have great survival instincts.


much more like me

Facebook was 100% right brained.

Will take the test now…

EDIT: Ok, that's a weird test…

I see the woman turning clockwise, the thumbs can either way for me, but the right brain side seemed more logical. And I write like C. (left)
So I got left brained. Close call IMO, cause the writing pics make no real sense. I just chose the one that was closest to my own style.

And about the female brains, don't worry Icefire. It told me I didn't get much testosterone because my fingers have the same length… I don't know anyone whose facial hair grows faster than my own, so I don't really place much value on this test. :p

Funny test nevertheless. :)

I saw the leg moving to the left, then I read some of your text then I saw the image again and now the leg was moving to the right…

Edit:
Remember your left brains controls the right part of your body and visa versa(Correct?)
Edit:
Awesome do this, When reading text left down from the dancer read it and watch the dancer from your eye corners it changes the direction for me.

The dance doesn't change based on how you look at it. Its a cycle repeating of both directions, each for a moment or two. Watch it for a few moments and it will change directions.

Yea it does switch after 10-20 secs.

Now I'm convinced I'm a whole brained person.

I can't decide between right or left.

You are a left brain dominant student!

You probably like some order in your life and in the classroom. You are comfortable listening to lectures and taking most test types, but you might be uncomfortable with open-ended essay assignments that require you to imagine scenarios. You want class directions to be clear. A disorganized teacher or unclear assignments will drive you crazy! You are good at analyzing problems to find the right answer. You may have considered pursuing a degree in science or math. You don't like mushy love movies. You might be a Jeopardy champ one day, not because you're smarter than right brain students, but because you are able to answer questions quickly.

That image is cool though, i can choose which way i want it to turn somehow :p


Test said left though

Awkwardsaw

hmm, i made the dancer move different ways, by thinking about it. like, it went what ever way i was thinking it was

BTW i lolled at the nipples!

Now I look at descriptions of right brain. I like it. I suck at art + music. Yet I know I do some things artistically. And like when every once in a while when I wait in the car when my mom goes into walmart. I usually have the feeling to look up for her. And I see her leaving the front doors. Im very intuitive. Right brains are awesome!

It was odd, usually i can see it both ways. But it kept being one way for me initially because i got myself thinking of it as turning one way. So i had to first stare at the foot (where its easy to interpret it both ways) then look up to the body to switch ways.

Thats the way I do it, now I can change the direction literally on command. Every 1 second :)
